Four dead in 37-vehicle pileup in China
SHOCKING images from China show the scene of a deadly 37-vehicle pileup — the majority of cars crushed by semi-trailers.
FOUR people have been killed and 40 more have been taken to hospital after a 37-vehicle pileup in China.
Police say heavy fog and a slippery surface are to blame for the accident on a section of highway in Shanxi Province, north China, on Monday morning.
